The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology defines visual impairment as the best-corrected visual acuity of less than 20/40 in the better eye, and the World Health Organization defines it as a presenting acuity of less than 6/12 in the better eye. The term blindness is used for complete or nearly complete vision loss.
ICD-10 code H54. 41 for Blindness, right eye, normal vision left eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Low vision means having impaired vision that cannot be corrected by glasses, surgery or medication. The most common cause of low vision is macular degeneration, an age-related disease that affects the central portion of the visual field. Other common causes include glaucoma, cataracts and diabetes.

The term 'low vision' in category H54 comprises categories 1 and 2 of the table, the term 'blindness' categories 3, 4 and 5, and the term 'unqualified visual loss' category 9.
Low vision generally refers to visual disorders that are caused by diseases that cannot be corrected by refraction (e.g., macular degeneration; retinitis pigmentosa; diabetic retinopathy, etc.). Visual loss: objective loss of visual acuity during a finite period attributable to an underlying disease.
History of vision problem. Personal condition of sight problem. Visual impairment. Clinical Information. Limitation in visual functions. Reduced ability to perceive visual stimuli. Vision considered to be inferior to normal vision as represented by accepted standards of acuity, field of vision, or motility.
Low vision is a chronic eye disorder that a person cannot treat with glasses, contact lenses, or medical or surgical treatment. It includes varying levels of vision loss, blind spots, poor night vision, and trouble with blindness to almost total loss of vision.
There are two categories of low vision- one is partially sighted and the other one is legally blind. Moreover, partially sighted mentions the visual activity between 20/70 and 20/200 along with conventional prescription lenses.
